With sadness in our hearts, we announce that Richard Joseph Boire (68 yrs) went to his Heavenly Home, April 19th 2024, with his loving family by his side. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. He loved His Lord and his family was his world. He was always creating new inventions. The kids always said give gramps a roll of duct tape and he can fix anything. He enjoyed planting his gardens growing tomatoes for his little neighbourhood friends. He was always ready to drop whatever he was doing to help a friend or stranger. He loved camping and fishing with family and trips in his motorhome.
He was predeceased by his parents Alcide and Lorina Boire, brother Claude, sisters Marie & Helene, father-in-law Eric Steinhoff, nephew Caiden Steinhoff.
Survived by his wife & soul mate Linda.

Love you Always & Forever xo, See you in Heaven xo. Linny
Jesus said: Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God: Believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you also may be where I am.
Our family wants to thank all the staff in emerg, 2a & 1a and the staff at the cancer clinic at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital, St. Joe’s Hospice and Bayshore nursing staff Chris, Crystal and Tracey for their support and excellent care of Richard.
